Honey

[jayla_mom_of2 25]

Does anyone know if we can have honey after bypass? I have pretty much cut out all coffee. I've cut out caffeinated and most Decaf but I like herbal tea with honey. I'm concerned that honey will cause dumping. Has anyone had any experience with this?

A little bit won't hurt, I drink it in my tea, but be cautious about putting it on solids, like toast or something, I think it has to do with the breaking down in the tea, it's more easily digested

I get instant diarrhea from honey.

did it have any effect on you before the surgery?

I had a sore throat for the past few days..... I have been having about a teaspoon of honey per cup of tea with no problems. I am almost 9 months post op. Try a little at first as see what happens, try new things in baby steps AND if you are going to be home just incase you have to use the bathroom - LOL. I really don't think you will have a problem with honey.... everything in moderation.

It doesn't bother me

I had no issues from honey before the surgery. I tried it on a inch of toast and it didn't work. Maybe try it in tea first.
